Case Study: Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) achieves secure, agile continuous integration and faster development with Atlassian Bamboo

Global Health Exchange standardizes on Atlassian for secure, agile development

Global Healthcare Exchange (GHX) is a cloud-based trading exchange that connects hospitals and suppliers to lower costs and improve care. In 2014 GHX’s 70+ engineering team moved to Git and agile practices but needed enterprise-grade security and user controls—Git alone and public hosts like GitHub couldn’t meet the regulatory and IP‑protection requirements.

GHX standardized on the Atlassian suite—Bitbucket Server for secure source control, plus Jira Software, Bamboo, Confluence and Jira Service Desk—with training and integration support from Atlassian partner cPrime. The integrated toolset enabled continuous integration, clearer release workflows, and broad cross‑department adoption, improving productivity and processes while giving administrators the security controls required to meet industry regulations.
